Today, I admit, I read nothing but sale signs and price tags. My roommate and I went to Polaris to window shop. It was a successful adventure without spending money on merchandise until we reached Sears clearance section. They had winter jackets 85% off. So, I thought to myself about my current winter jacket. I've had it for 10 years, it is ripped and a size or two too big. So, for $25 I bought a $200 winter jacket. Quite this steal I think. When I checked out, I was offered a deal to sign up for their credit card and get $15 off this purchase, which would have made this jacket only $10. However, I declined. I know myself well enough to know that if I have another source of credit available to me, it won't be good. I think it was a decent choice overall.
Then we went to Lakeshore Learning Store. It was amazing! I'm so excited to stock up on things for next school year. I have so many things I want to change in my classroom for next year. I definitely plan on going back and picking up things periodically.
Finally, we went to Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt. It's all self serve. You choose your flavor (about a dozen to choose from) and you get to choose your own toppings, healthy or otherwise. It was a bit pricey, but would definitely recommend it if you have the chance! I chose to get mango and raspberry frozen yogurt with fresh strawberries, kiwi, and boba balls on top. It was soooo yummy! The perfect end to the day of "window shopping" Check it out: http://orangeleafyogurt.com/
So far, spring break is starting off well. Lots of rest and relaxing. I need to start getting lesson plans done though, then more fun and relaxing before I head back to school. Ain't life grand?

There is a frozen yogurt place like that near us and it's not very expensive and it's yummy!
ReplyDeleteGood job not getting the credit card and not spending too much money!! :) Glad you are enjoying your Spring Break!
